FUTURE/ Virtual reality and interactive Art -
I am fascinated by the possibilities that come with new technologies and the way they will revolutionize our world. May our future be entertaining and fun thanks to virtual reality and interactive Art!
Here are definitions provided by Wikipedia :
“Virtual reality (VR), also known as virtuality, is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications.”
“Interactive art is a form of installation-based art that involves the spectator in a way that allows the art to achieve its purpose. Some installations achieve this by letting the observer or visitor “walk” in, on, and around them; some others ask the artist to become part of the artwork.
Works of this kind of art frequently feature computers and sensors to respond …to motion, heat, meteorological changes or other types of input their makers programmed them to respond to. Most examples of virtual Internet art and electronic art are highly interactive. Sometimes, visitors are able to navigate through a hypertext environment; some works accept textual or visual input from outside; sometimes an audience can influence the course of a performance or can even participate in it.”
Atomium
Designed by André Waterkeyn and originally built for the 1958 Brussels World’s Fair, the Atomium is a must see in the capital. I would suggest to go there by night so then the 9 steel spheres shine in the dark. Magic.
Night lights
Siam square
Siam square, the modern shopping area of Bangkok.
I would recommend you to drop by Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. A brand new and promising showcase for young Thai contemporary artists.
Berlin
Berlin is underground, Berlin is diverse. Berlin has colours, Berlin has great music. Berlin is cool.
Electric blue
Go, go, go…
Football has taken over medias and the world cup is the biggest current event…Check these cool t-shirts from the Ducth federation!
Gallery – Swims
“Seduce the rain”, how cool is that?? Swims, a Norvegian company, provides all we need to go through wet weathers. Their “galoshes” catched my eyes in Gallery so I had to try them on…
When design meets the needs of fashionistas… well, ok, this is not very glamourous but it can save precious pairs of shoes (it also exists for stilettos) from rain and snow! I just think that the idea is brilliant.
While the webshop is under construction, you can see more here.
